grazing animal
Creature eating grass
A grazing animal is one that feeds on grass and other low-growing vegetation, typically in open pastures or rangelands.
Cattle, sheep, horses, and deer are grazing animals.
The term distinguishes these from browsers, which feed on leaves, twigs, and shrubs: The ranch supports both grazing animals and browsing goats.
